Soldato
I bought the device earlier this week and update .21 was waiting for me, so can't comment on previous firmware performance but so far I'm really enjoying the tablet.
I never use Bluetooth as my work phone is the only thing I connect to the car and the docking station keyboard negates the need for a mouse of keyboard at this moment in time. I guess that may change if I feel the need to control the Prime from distance as I get to use it more.
Only niggles are the Asus keyboard which is slow and ugly but is apparently required for certain aspects of the hardware keyboard to work? The Asus keyboard is awful for typing on in landscape mode and it actually hurts my hands and wrists when trying to write a post on a forum that's a couple of paragraphs long. They really should have designed the software keyboard to be like Thumb Keyboard off the Play Store, which does not require your thumbs to be put under such strain to hit the middle of the screen.
As for applications, I have been very disappointed by the likes of Sky applications that have amazing tablet applications on iOS (my housemate has the new iPad). It's not completely bad though, there's some applications with great tablet layouts such as BBC News, Flixster, IMDb and Pulse News to name a few.
Tegra3 performance has been pretty good gaming wise via Shadow Gun, Riptide and the Glowball application that comes installed.
I also find the system comes to a stop when installing some application's from the Play Store, this may be down to the file system used? I remember my HTC Desire also did the same thing but my Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy SII never.
